Some people may not know what off-the-grid or off-grid means, so here it is --- The term off-the-grid or off-grid refers to living in a self-sufficient manner without reliance on one or more public utilities.

Off-grid living is no longer a one room log cabin in the woods. It's energy independency. You don't have to rely on utility companies, you create your own power. Today, there are more than 180,000 off-grid homes in the US.

Mountain Chores...

9:53 am - 32 degrees - 9 inches of new snow and still snowing...

The last storm blew over a few
more trees and left quite a bit of debris all along the driveway.

The weather reports were saying
that we’re supposed to get 2-3 feet of snow by Friday, so we spent yesterday
morning cleaning up the debris. This
will help when it comes time for Tony to either blow or plow the driveway, he
won’t be hitting broken branches or fallen rocks.

For some reason, the kids had
more fun shoveling off the bridge, than they did tossing limbs. At least they were having fun while doing their chores.

Welcome

Have you ever dreamed of buying some property somewhere, to live a simpler, more sustainable life? We did, and we were crazy enough to do it.

Our family has chosen to live off-grid. We have purchased 22 acres in the foot hills of the Cascade Mountain Range in the Great Pacific Northwest. Our property is off-grid meaning we have no public utilities whatsoever.

With this blog we will let you know about our experiences in building our home off-grid and how the progress of that is going along with what off-grid living is like for us.
--- Enjoy!
